The Epoch Times: US Experiencing 'Crises of Early Death' Unique to Wealthy Nations: Study
A new study reveals that over 1 million U.S. deaths per year could have been prevented if the country had mortality rates similar to other wealthy nations. The analysis covers the period from 1933 to 2021 and shows that the U.S. had lower mortality rates than its peers in the 1930s-1950s before experiencing a steady increase in excess deaths from the 1980s. In 2019, there were 622,534 excess deaths, but this number rose dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic, reaching 1,090,103 in 2021. The study attributes this high mortality to several factors, including drug overdoses, firearm injuries, car accidents, cardiometabolic disorders, and smoking. It also highlights the impact of socioeconomic inequality, limited safety nets, low vaccine uptake, and political factors such as residential segregation and decreased access to healthcare. Excess mortality was particularly high in people under 65 years old, even though young individuals were least likely to die from COVID-19. The study suggests that the U.S. is facing a crisis of early death that is unique among wealthy nations and that significant policy changes are needed to improve population health.
